Vintage Futuristic

I came across these photos on a site called design crisis. These images of the Macy's Day Parade, of days long past, were pretty cool. Now I am not nostalgic (by any stretch of the imagination). I will allude to the past, embrace it, and give it the honor it deserves, yet I won't yearn for its return.  Why? Those days aren't ever coming back.

Yesterday will never look like or even be tomorrow.

Maybe similar but never identical.

For that I am thankful. When things change, it's an opportunity to learn. It's an opportunity to grow.  It's an opportunity to be humble, because you do not know what it is you are facing.  Whether it's a new relationship,  a new city you've moved to, or a new business opportunity, it's a moment for education, a time for a new experience and an opening for you to do something different.

Take it. Don't miss it. Don't let it pass you by. Because like these photos once that time has passed, it's never coming back.

Thanks for the post Alison. I disagree with your C.S. Lewis quote. One person's 'hour' could be another's 'lifetime'. Time is relative. It's the experiences we have between moments in time that determines how far we are ahead or behind our peers and/or our colleagues. When sixty minutes transpires we (all) are never in the same future (mental time or mental space).
